Carpet Company C&A Floorcoverings (C&A), announced that it has recycled more than 100,000,000 pounds of reclaimed vinyl and vinyl-backed carpet, since it introduced the Infinity Initiative 10 years ago.

"For more than 35 years, C&A has been at the forefront of every significant technological advance in the development of environmentally designed carpet," said Mac Bridger, CEO of Tandus.

"They know that recycling carpet is but one part of the sustainability ideal, but it underscores their commitment to developing holistic environmental solutions that make their other environmental achievements possible."

A recognized leader in environmental stewardship, C&A manufactures high-performance modular tile and six-foot structured back carpeting for the commercial market.

C&A was the first carpet manufacturer in the world with a reclamation and recycling program and the first to produce 100 percent recycled-content vinyl backing.

The company's sustainable warranty guarantees that all carpet returned will be recycled in its entirety and that no portion will be landfilled, incinerated (including waste-to-energy) or disposed of in any other way.
